Leg of Goat - Final Pics

[1buckie]

The goat cooks I went to years ago, they mopped W/ vinegar, a/c vinegar &
I don't know what all spices mixed in...
These were whole goat on a giant roto w/ one of those steel pans to hold the coals down below....
Seemed at the time that the heat was way too far away, but it turned out great....
Have no idea how long it cooked, at least 5-6 hours (maybe all day ?)
guessing by how many beers we drank AFTER we got there

They sliced some into steaks & had a bunch of it pulled / shreaded....

I think the vinegar just ended up being an ongoing tenderizer

I think the above is semi-accurate, but it was a LONG time ago....

Yours looks great !!!

'Bout like runnin' a disco for the 1st time....

Your batting avg. seems to be going up dramatically lately

Does this qualify me as a GOAT ROPER or a GOAT ROASTER?

The first barbacoa I had was in SA, it was goat. It was the most succulent meat I had ever had. It made me barbacoa addict from the git go. My spelling sucks but the sentiment is there.

First Texas BBQ I ever had was Goat - My squad leaders Father [ Mr Higdon ] brought our squad 2 that he had done ahead in a pit [ above ground? under? KAM's method?]- he warmed them on a webber with gallons of beer as appetizers and deset....That was 1983, and I still remember that goat!! EVen thru all the side dishes [ Lone Star, Shaefers, I faintly recall some Whisky too...I forget from there....] It was "pulled", moist and tasty!!
You got a real nice ring there Jarhead!! I'd eat those pics!! Now - a few torts seem to be in order, Taziki may be traditional in some parts?!! Just keep that hound at a distance - cept for gettin rid of grisle ....
Great lookin cook!

Jim, I know exactly what you're talking about. This the 2nd time that I've had it.

Thanks Mr Tony. Sounds like the 1st time I had mine, only it was at a little country bar. We buried it and the party was on.
I think this was pulled too and put on a bun.
Thanks for the tort and Tz advice. Kind of like a Gyro. Sounding good.

@Ken (1buckie) - No mop, just that one baste of lemon juice and more rosemary before foiling.

That is some excellent looking eats gunny. Nicely done. I could kill a pile of that on some torts with a bit of salsa and cheese.

Thanks Toga. I wish it was mine.
Gotta find a live goat around here, if you want the meat.

I'm going to see if my favorite local meat market can obtain some for me. If they cannot then the only choice would be a live one at a farm.

I just got back from the goat farm. Bottle babies are $20 and 2-3 month old kids are $40. They told me to forget anything older than 8 months and stay away from Billy Goats.
They should have a diet of mostly grain and lots of water during their last 2 months on Earth.

I was in Boston and saw this in a store and have been waiting to post it somewhere. So here ya go.

Jarhead, that is some good looking goat.
I've made curry goat, but never smoked it.
Great, another idea you've given me. You gotta stop, I can't keep up.
Nah, don't, I'll save up the ideas you come up with.
Nice job!

[Jarhead]

Thanks George.
Grab a free copy of Evernote and copy & paste.
That's the way I keep track of my recipes and cook notes.
Great little program, it's a DB on the Cloud.
I'll be slowing down next week. Got neck surgery on the 24th. Couple of bone spurs are pinching my spinal cord.
Hospital food, YUCK.

John, thanks for the tip and I hope the surgery goes well for you.

Beautiful smoke ring. I wonder how the bacon may have changed the flavor?

Thank you ZYSmith.
I used the bacon mostly to keep some fat content in/on it.
It was really lean meat, so I done it like I do loins.
It turned out really moist.
